Consistency is not exactly the strong point of any of these. Isatis has strong claims on her earlier second at Pontefract but was well beaten at Yarmouth last time. She shares the same official rating as SILKE TOP as she drops back in trip. The latter was placed over 6f at Wolverhampton last year and on only her third start of this season should be open to further progress. She gets the tentative vote as Nevaeh's best effort came in heavy ground and the remaining pair have some catching up to do to figure.
